Healing holy man, once upon a time
He lived for his wife up until the crime

Hunting high and low to seek revenge
Brand new moral code, got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flowed he drank the blood like lemonade

Cozy campfire crowd with a case of wine
And feeling fine
Bounty hunter now and they'd crossed the line
Crossed that line

Hunting high and low to seek revenge
Brand new moral code got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flowed he drank the blood like lemonade

In a border town, down in Mexico
They let him go
Law and order now 'cause he runs the show
So now you know

Hunting high and low, exact revenge
Brand new moral code got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flow he drank the blood like lemonade

Hunting high and low, exact revenge
Brand new moral code got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flow he drank the blood like lemonade

He drank the blood like lemonade
He drank the blood like lemonade
He drank the blood like lemonade

Skye is my favorite voice. 
Not my favorite singer (Floor Jansen is the holder of that) but certainly that voice just does something for me.

Love the simple 4 note keyboard riff. Simple seasonings like a dash of salt and pepper on an omelets.

The curse of the most driven vampire hunters is that, to kill more vampires than one might in a single lifespan, there is a very easily-accessed form of immortality readily available. 

And if one finds that more than a single lifetime is needed to Finish the Job, then one might find themselves permanently separated from their loved ones lost in order to see their revenge through to its end. =/

Just them four chords though innit. You know the ones. Like bread with nothing on it. Which can be ok if it's really fresh. I'm off to do a mashup with Boulevard of Broken Dreams. It won't get any more tasty.


Judging the quality of a song by the number of chords used in it seems like a pretty trivial evaluation.  For one thing, the majority of popular songs and beloved classics have only three or four chords.
This song's got a good groove - it seems that was what they were going for.
For what it's worth, this song is not the notorious "four chord" progression that you seem to be hinting at.

A fine comment from a Grammarcop, but lyrical context makes me believe he drank blood as if it were lemonade. 

Not sure what incident would drive a healing holy man to extract revenge, however.  Only that "he lived for his wife up until the crime."

I like Morcheeba and I like this one, but I think they're starting to pilfer from themselves. The chorus here shares quite a bit of tune and beat DNA with their song Blindfold. Have a listen.

What exactly does it do to a feller?  Probably the same thing Grace Slick (who this singer sounds like) did to me in the late 60s.

Yep, I could just hear this song on the TB soundtrack. A shame that, over this side of the Pond, TB's been transferred to pay satellite channels (thanks a feckin' bundle, Rupert) so us non-satellite plebs can no longer watch it. A shame, as I really liked the back to basics TB take on vampirism: sex, blood and violence, as it should be, none of this poncey McVampire 'new chastity' Stephanie Meyer bollox.
